Mayflower II on the Open Seas by Montague Dawson

boatload of faith
puritans flee persecution
embark for freedom to worship

soldiers, profit seekers
travel together in tight quarters

illness on board
violent storms at sea
God’s providence holds fast

birth of child on
vast ocean of hope
blessing for future colony

Another quadrille about the pilgrims; written second but prequels my first…
